Well, not sure at this stage...

Thanks for the offer Ryan. From what I've been told, if it doesn't fix the problem, the car will still drive fine, but I have a higher chance of smashing this box aswell, which I can't afford to do right now, not for the next 3 months or so that is, so I don't know if I want to risk it.

I also don't want all you guys to bust your balls for me on a whim if you know what I mean, I'd just feel bad about it...

If your clutch is a bit ???? and your rear main seal a bit ???? then i would be waiting and doign it all properly.

What exactly is wrong with the clutch that means its not disengaging? I dont know but that sounds to be an adjustment thing ????

But do it right, missing a DECA sux but you do have a back up car or two :P

Buy a new clutch. Rebuild the old clutch later and sell it off as a rebuilt clutch.

The extreme clutch supplier dude that me and Al have used will deliver next day.

Wack the new clutch and BOX in on thu night and bob's my dad.

Don't worry about the time taken to do it. As Ash said, it wont take all night.

Is it currently a twin plate?

I will also be available for Thursday night, so i will give Dave a call on Thursday to get an update.

On a another note, i may have to pull my car out of DECA :D.

Went for a drive on the weekend and was hearing a deep winding noise from the engine bay, at idle. Tracked it down to behind the cam covers. Will be taking the car to my mechanic tommorrow to have a listen, if he knows all is ok, then no problem, but if he suspects a fault then i will pull out :(. I was so pumped up for this event :ermm:

Either way i will still come up!

Anyone got a spare 33 i can borrow? ;)

heh, i may still have my old clutch layin round, but i doubt you would want to do that, especially at deca. the only good thing is your gearbox wont be hurt in the slightest as it will probably never fully engage with all the clutch dumping. as for putting everyone out i think we see it as something to do!!! would be a bit of fun;)

Daneeeee

Im more than happy to give ya a hand with all this, and even if its the clutch, we can look at it with the box off, its the best time for it.

its for free dude, you might as well give it a try and see if its worth it.

Cheers

Sean.

Troy: I'm not sure exactly what makes it not disengage fully, but it's something to do with a few stress fractures I have in the clutch plates. I've been strongly advised not to put another box in without fixing it. In their words the clutch is 'f**ked!'

Chris: Yeah, it's currently a twin plate OS. Just buying another clutch would be the easy option, I work right next to EXEDY, but I simply can't afford it at the moment. I just put a fair amount of money into it last week...

Ryan: Thanks man, appreciate the offer dude!

Sean: thanks man, why is it always you that ends up fixing my car?? :D haha

Realistically, I think the only way to get it to DECA is to put another clutch into it, whether that be a secondhand one I can borrow, or a new one, which is just not an option at this stage...

ahhhhhh well...

I've just pulled out of DECA...

Thanks for the offers guys, much appreciated, but I should just do it once and do it properley with a rebuilt clutch I think.

:)

no one else will say it, but im a kent so its ok....few more withdrawals and we can double our pan time!

oh yeh, bad luck with the car :)

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
